As the title says – I’ve just added a cloud upload functionality. I’ve picked ThingSpeak for now as they are the only of a literally handlful, who still allow for free accounts *and* private data channels.

The implementation itself was fairly easy and I didn’t go for an NPM module for ThingSpeak, but implemented the upload myself using “request” Node.js module. As I don’t need anything beyond the fields update, that is good enough and avoids adding one more dependency to the project.
Here’s how my test channel looks like:
